"Rants" by Akira
(2003-09-18)

When I was working on this page, I thought it will be the coolest fighting scene I've ever made. It turned out mediocre. Inking takes away dynamics from pencil rough drawings. I need to work more on inking.

Here are some vocabs Laika was using:

  • "Ishikawa-ryu" - sword techniques of Laika's family. Laika's family name is "Ishikawa".
  • "Battou Jyutsu" - Sword techniques based on drawing a sword from a sheath. The one Rurouni Kenshin uses is Battou-Jyutsu. I guess "Ishikawa-ryu" has "battou jyutsu" too.
  • "Zero no Tachi" - "Sword technique Zero". Usually it goes from 1,2 and on, but 0 sounds cool.
  • "Miyou Mimane" - Learning by just watching. Not formally trained.
  • "Saitou-ryu" - Since "Gatotsu" is Saitou Hajime's (Rurouni Kenshin) technique
  • "Gatotsu Modoki" - "Gatotsu" is Saitou Hajime's famous technique in Rurouni Kenshin. "Modoki" means fake/imitation.
